How to Better Your Bay Window

May 31, 2016

Bay windows come in various
angles, sizes and home trends. No matter what your bay
window looks like, there’s regularly one frequent
theme: it is the ideal window style for a DIY project. For
the homeowners who want to take on creative
projects, there are virtually endless possibilities to transform
your window with a lot of inspiration and a little
bit of work.

From Pinterest and DIY design bloggers to your own mind’s
creations, possibilities abound that will add a creative, functional
twist to your home while using a space that is already there – your bay window.

Simple
Storage: A bay window is a wonderful place to store belongings that need to be hidden, yet in a beneficial
spot. Instead of putting your winter clothes all the way
down to the basement, simply store them in a bay
window storage unit a few strides from your closet in warm
months. Storage units are also ideal for holding
kitchen supplies for special meals. Tuck your
table cloths and fancy silverware in a safe space where they
cannot fall or be touched. Add a flower pot or pillows on top to coordinate
the bench into your space.

Space
Saving Seat: To accentuate and add even more benefit
to your storage place, add a seat cushion. For windows in your kitchen, consider sliding your kitchen table close to
the bay window. This will not only free up your kitchen space,
but will also be a comfortable and naturally lit place to
appreciate family meals or chat with friends. Transforming
your bay window nook into a seat is a DIY project that
you can use every day, which makes the hard
work so much more worth it!

DIY Desk:
Whether you wish to make your own or you’d rather just buy a
desk, a good location to place it is by your bay window. You’ll
have the perfect scene to gaze and enjoy
beautiful days while still being productive. Spruce up
your desk with some flowers to take place where a lamp would normally
sit. Plus, they will the right amount of sun and smell
good too.

Reading Nook:
Escape in comfort and quiet with this simple spot. For the
quiet rooms in your home, your bay window is longing to
become a reading nook. This project is made just like the seat described
above, but booklovers can implement a twist. Instead of
closing off the front of your bench, make dividers to
make a mini, horizontal bookcase underneath your
nook. This allows you to be hooked on your nook without the need
to move once you finish a book - you simply dive into your
next novel an arms-length under you.

If you have a bay window, but aren’t into DIY
projects, it is a simple fix to place a
couch or table with flowers in your bay window location. You
can make your home look chic and utilize the space
without any extreme effort. To install or learn more about
